Former Tiger Standout Joins Volleyball Coaching Staff

San Antonio - Aly Hazelwood, a former Trinity
University All-American, has been appointed assistant coach of the
Tigers volleyball team.

Hazelwood, who earned a bachelor of arts in English from Trinity
in 2009 (with a minor in religion), will assist head Coach Julie
Jenkins with the successful Trinity program.

Coach Jenkins, who has completed 27 seasons at the Tigers helm,
has guided Trinity to the NCAA Division III playoffs 18 times, and
to 15 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championships.
Included in the Tigers postseason records are a 1999 NCAA runner-up
finish, a third-place ranking (2002), and five trips to the
quarterfinals, the last of which came in 2009.

As a middle blocker for the Tigers from 2006-2009, she played on
three SCAC Championship teams (2006, 2007, 2008), and two of the
NCAA quarterfinal squads (2006, 2009).

Hazelwood was elected to the American Volleyball Coaches
All-America Team in 2009, as well as the All-South Region Team. She
made the All-SCAC Teams in 2007 and 2009, and is ranked second in
Trinity career blocks, with 520. Hazelwood is also third in
single-season blocks, racking up 166 in the 2009 campaign.

In addition to her honors on the volleyball court, Hazelwood
amassed a cumulative grade point average of 3.43, and was twice
named to the Dean's List. She was a member of the Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee, volunteered for the Susan G. Komen Race
for the Cure, and volleyball's "Dig Pink," among other
programs.

Young volleyball players benefited from her experience, as she
coached at the Bexar County Volleyball Academy, and Julie Jenkins
Volleyball Camps.

Hazelwood also put her experience to work in Trinity's
Intramural program, serving as interim director of Intramurals and
Club Sports from December 2009 to May 2010.

The versatile Coach Hazelwood held the position of director of
volleyball operations and summer camps at Rice University, from
August 2010 to July 2011. In the same time period, she coached the
Texas Revolution Volleyball 18s Elite Team, with San Jacinto
College Coach Sharon Nelson.

Most recently, Coach Hazelwood was the assistant at Marietta
College, an NCAA Division III institution located at Marietta,
Ohio.

The 2011 Tigers advanced to the SCAC Championship match, and
completed the season with a 22-16 record. A strong contributor to
the season was Coach Hazelwood's younger sister Maddy, a senior
middle blocker. The two sisters played on the same Tiger teams in
2008 and 2009. A third Hazelwood sister, Audrey, is also a member
of the Trinity team, but was injured and did not play this
season.
